If a system with mirrors for root (/), /usr, and swap is booted
into single-user mode, the system indicates that these mirrors are in need of
maintenance. When you view these mirrors with the metastat command, these mirrors, and
possibly all mirrors on the system, appear in the “Needing Maintenance” state.

Though this situation appears to be potentially dangerous, do not be concerned. The
metasync -r command, which normally occurs during boot to resynchronize mirrors, is interrupted when the
system is booted into single-user mode. After the system is rebooted, the
metasync -r command runs and resynchronizes all mirrors.

If this interruption is a concern, run the metasync -r command manually.
